Project description
Chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease, disturbing the skin functions of amphibians and thus resulting in death and amphibian decline. The mechanism by which the skin is disturbed is not known. In this project, we will study the role of secreated aminopeptidases in amphibian skin interface disturbance.
